2019 Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-014

Description

Moderate extra thickness on the date digits marks this 2019 Lincoln Shield cent obverse variety, attributed by the Wexler Team as WDDO-014 and cross-referenced as Coppercoins 2019P-1DO-009. The obverse die carries short die scratches extending southeast from the tip of Lincoln's nose, while the reverse shows a die crack across the top left of the shield accompanied by a die chip north of the L in PLURIBUS, plus a short die scratch running southwest from the lower left of the shield north of the O in ONE. The convergence of date doubling with multiple die scratches and progressive cracking across both faces creates a variety with strong visual presence, particularly appealing to collectors who favor doubled dies where the extra thickness on the date numerals is visible without requiring extreme magnification to confirm.
